expressive power can make things easier to read.
python reads like pseudo code and is arguably the most readable language out there.
C has more expressive power than assembly and is also more readable.
- weberc2 10y agoPython can be very readable. In practice, it's much less readable than Go. Also, Python's lack of typing makes it very hard to follow type arguments (something I lament daily). I love that I can enter a few keystrokes in vim and see the type signature, methods, fields, documentation, or even the full definition. Python doesn't really have this (at least not unless your project is using mypy).

- trentnelson 10y agoOne of the side projects I've been working on attacks this in a different way; what if we efficiently trace every single call point at the Python and C level, including all arguments, such that we can build up a historic inference of types a given object label had at any point in time.
